A light emitting apparatus emits light emitted from a light emitting element (200) mounted on a substrate (300) via a luminous flux control member (100). The luminous flux control member (100) has a bottom surface section (101) opposite to the substrate (300), an input surface section (106) for causing the light emitted from a light emitting element (200) to enter inside the input surface section (106), a light control output surface section (102) for refracting the light having entered from the input surface section (106) and outputting the light outside, and two or more leg sections (103) are formed to project outward from the bottom surface section (101) inside a circle with a circumference on which a position where the amount of light reflected by the light control output surface section (102) and yet reaching the bottom surface section (101) peaks is located, and attached to the substrate (300).
